My 2015 In Review

In slightly more than 24 hours time, we will bid farewell to 2015 and welcoming a brand new year. So, I thought it is a good idea to recap some key events/milestones in the year 2015 chronologically. It is not restricted to my investment journey, in fact, as my investment portfolio is still in minion size, it only formed a small part of my year 2015.

My memory is rather poor but luckily I do post quite actively in my Social Media (mainly Facebook) on my major life events, it is a breeze for me to recap my 2015.

Without further ado...let's get started.

Jan 2015

1. I've spent 15 days with wifey in Melbourne Australia, get to know the city slightly better, as my wife will be in and out this very live-able metropolitan city regularly for the new few years or so, I am sure will be back soon. Do check out my earlier post on some key observations in Melbourne. Who know, we might decide to retire there one day? ;-)

1. Back to my home town to celebrate Chinese New Year and managed to meet with a few secondary classmates (by chance) that we've never met for more than 20 years. Still keep in touch with some of them occasionally via social media. The funny thing is most of them can still recognize me but I can only recall a few of them. That's how "powerful" my memory is.
